IMHO a waste of time.

I've seen them unload a lot on asscents and decents if you don't run a limiting strap.

hmmm, any suggestions for the rear, the issue at hand is i dont like the stress on the spring when its flexed out and the rear comes off the ground and i know it could go more. i thought a bout revolver shackles but dont know. any help greatly appreciated. thanks guys

Ramp-champ stuff only.

I've never liked them...black magic stuff. Seem to unload nicely going down hill and dropping off ledges. Like to open up and cause alot of bouncing when climbing ledges. Have a friend with a mini truck now that has them and the axle trys to walk under his rig since he does not have a anti-wrap bar. They're like the medicine adds on tv you see where it cures one thing but causes 20 other bad symptoms.
Flex is over rated, chics digs tires in the air

What do you guys think of 1/4 elliptic??

1/4E with a 4 link, very cool. Just have to make sure you use some huge springs

Ramp-champ stuff only.

Downey's shackles do not open well at all from what I have seen. Although, they do give you a nice road ride from the Shackle angle
